If 15% of a number is 45, what is 16% of that number?

Answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

3/20x=45

Multiply both sides by 20/3.

(20/3) * (3/20x) = (20/3) * 45

That comes to 300, which is the answer to the first part of your question: 15% of a number is 45

Now for the second part of the question: What is 16% of that number (which we already know is 300)

To find the percent of a number, you have to multiply the percent by the number and simplify.

16/100*300/1 = 4/25*300/1 = 1200/25 = 48

So, 15%x=45, then x=300.

This is because each percent is 3.

Since 16%=15%+1%, you get 45+3=48.
